Overview

What this migration involves

Contractor+ is a contractor-focused CRM centered on leads, clients, estimates, invoices, and job scheduling — with tiered plans from a free Freedom tier through Pro Team. It does not expose a documented public API for automated extraction, so migration relies on CSV export from the platform and manual record retrieval where exports are unavailable. HighLevel is an all-in-one agency and SMB CRM platform with Contacts, Companies, Opportunities, custom objects, and a Workflows automation engine. FlitStack AI sequences the migration by first auditing your Contractor+ record types and count, then building the corresponding schema in HighLevel — sub-accounts, custom fields, opportunity pipelines, and product catalog entries. Contacts and companies migrate directly. Jobs and projects map to HighLevel Opportunities with stage and amount preserved. Estimates map as Opportunity line items where available; standalone invoices become historical Opportunity records with a custom status field. We perform a test migration on a representative slice, validate field-level accuracy, then run the full cutover with a delta-pickup window capturing any records modified during the switch. Workflows, automations, and job-scheduling rules do not migrate — they require rebuilding inside HighLevel's Workflow Builder using your Contractor+ configuration as a reference document.

Why teams make this switch

Two sides of the same decision

Leaving

Contractor+ logo

Contractor+

What's pushing teams away

  • The subcontractor management feature was repeatedly delayed past its promised release date, frustrating users who needed to create accounts and assign work to sub-contractors.
  • Client Portal lacks granular visibility controls — users cannot hide specific job types or data that do not apply to a particular client, creating confusion and information disclosure risk.
  • Freedom plan caps estimates and invoices at 5 per month, forcing contractors to upgrade to Pro sooner than expected as soon as they start taking on regular work.
  • Users report a learning curve when first exploring the system — creating test quotes, jobs, and invoices takes a few evenings to feel comfortable, and the initial onboarding lacks guided structure.
  • The platform is relatively new and rapidly evolving, meaning features available at evaluation may shift or be removed before sub-ecosystems (like the subcontractor portal) are fully built out.

Choosing

HighLevel logo

HighLevel

What's pulling them in

  • Agencies choose HighLevel to consolidate CRM, email, SMS, scheduling, and funnels into one subscription, eliminating monthly bills for five to ten separate SaaS tools they previously stitched together.
  • The flat-rate pricing model bills per sub-account rather than per contact, so growing a contact database from 1,000 to 100,000 records does not trigger a billing surprise—a common pain point avoided by migrating customers.
  • White-label and sub-account capabilities let agencies resell HighLevel access to their own clients, turning a software cost center into a recurring revenue stream that justifies the subscription.
  • The platform ships a 14-day free trial with no credit card required, giving teams a low-friction entry point to validate fit before committing to the $97/month Starter tier.
  • Marketing agencies managing multiple client accounts use sub-accounts to maintain data isolation per client while operating under a single agency billing relationship with HighLevel.

Object mapping

How Contractor+ objects map to HighLevel

Each row shows how a Contractor+ object lands in HighLevel, including any object-level transformations, lookup resolution, or schema-design dependencies.

Typical mapping — final map is confirmed during the sample migration step.

Contractor+

Client

maps to

HighLevel

Contact

1:1
Fully supported

Contractor+ Clients migrate to HighLevel Contacts. Client name splits into First Name and Last Name fields. Email, phone, address, and custom fields map directly. The Contractor+ Client ID is stored in HighLevel's custom Source_System_ID__c field for traceability and delta-run de-duplication.

Contractor+

Client

maps to

HighLevel

Company

many:1
Fully supported

Contractor+ does not have a standalone Company object — clients ARE the company-of-record. We extract client records that represent businesses (not individuals) and create both a HighLevel Contact and a corresponding HighLevel Company record, linking them via Contact-Company association. Business type is inferred from the presence of a business name or website field.

Contractor+

Lead

maps to

HighLevel

Contact

1:1
Fully supported

Contractor+ leads that are not yet converted to clients migrate as HighLevel Contacts with a custom Source_Type__c field set to 'Lead'. Lead status and source information map to custom fields in HighLevel. Unconverted leads retain their original create date in Original_Create_Date__c.

Contractor+

Job

maps to

HighLevel

Opportunity

1:1
Fully supported

Contractor+ Jobs map directly to HighLevel Opportunities. Job name becomes Opportunity Name. Job estimated value or quoted amount maps to Opportunity Amount. Job status (New, In Progress, Completed) maps to the HighLevel pipeline stage value. The Contractor+ Job ID is stored for reconciliation.

Contractor+

Job Stage / Status

maps to

HighLevel

Pipeline Stage

1:1
Fully supported

Contractor+ job status values (New, Scheduled, In Progress, On Hold, Completed, Cancelled) are mapped value-by-value to HighLevel Opportunity pipeline stages. We create a HighLevel pipeline named after the Contractor+ job workflow and apply the same stage sequence. Stage-enter timestamps from Contractor+ are preserved in custom datetime fields in HighLevel.

Contractor+

Estimate

maps to

HighLevel

Opportunity Product / Custom Field

many:1
Fully supported

Contractor+ estimates are line-item documents with quantities, unit prices, and totals. Each estimate line item migrates as a HighLevel Opportunity Product entry linked to the corresponding Opportunity. The estimate document reference (estimate number, date, status) is stored in custom fields on the Opportunity. If estimate totals differ from job amount, both values are preserved.

Contractor+

Invoice

maps to

HighLevel

Opportunity (historical) / Custom Object

1:1
Fully supported

Contractor+ invoices are standalone financial documents. We create a HighLevel Custom Object named 'Invoice' with fields for invoice number, issue date, due date, total amount, status (Paid/Unpaid/Overdue), and a link to the related Opportunity (the Job). Paid invoices get a custom Paid_Date__c field. Unpaid balances are preserved for accounts-receivable reconciliation.

Contractor+

Work Order

maps to

HighLevel

Custom Object (Work Order)

1:1
Fully supported

Contractor+ Work Orders are operational scheduling records. HighLevel does not have a native Work Order object, so we create a Custom Object named 'Work Order' with custom fields for work order number, assigned technician, scheduled date, job type, and status. Work Orders are linked to the parent Opportunity via a lookup relationship field.

Contractor+

Contractor+ User / Owner

maps to

HighLevel

User

1:1
Fully supported

Contractor+ team members (dispatchers, technicians, admins) are matched to HighLevel users by email address. Active HighLevel user accounts must exist before migration; we flag any unmatched owners so they can be provisioned before the cutover. Role and permission settings are destination-side configuration.

Contractor+

Contractor+ Custom Fields (on Clients, Jobs, Estimates)

maps to

HighLevel

Custom Fields / Custom Object Fields

1:1
Fully supported

Contractor+ custom fields (text, number, date, dropdown) on clients, jobs, and estimates are created as matching custom fields in HighLevel on the respective object. Dropdown fields require value-by-value mapping if the pick-list options differ between platforms. All custom field definitions are documented in the migration plan before the migration run.

Contractor+

Contractor+ Attachments (photos, documents on Jobs)

maps to

HighLevel

HighLevel Files

1:1
Fully supported

Contractor+ file attachments on jobs and clients are downloaded and re-uploaded to HighLevel Files associated with the corresponding Contact or Opportunity record. File size limits follow HighLevel's upload constraints. Inline images in notes are extracted and re-hosted as HighLevel file attachments.

Pair-specific challenges

  • Contractor+ has no documented public API — migration depends on CSV export

    Contractor+ does not expose a public REST API for automated data extraction. All migration data must be sourced from CSV exports through the platform UI, which are subject to plan-level limits — the Freedom plan caps estimates and invoices at 5 per month. Any records beyond export limits must be pulled manually. FlitStack AI works around this by combining CSV exports, bulk record retrieval where available, and manual export assistance, but teams with large histories in Contractor+ should budget time for multi-session exports before migration begins.

  • Contractor+ invoices lack a native Opportunity link — invoice-to-job relationships require reconstruction

    Contractor+ treats invoices as standalone financial documents attached to jobs, but it does not expose a structured job-ID foreign key on invoice records in its export. FlitStack AI reconstructs the job-invoice relationship by matching invoice line items, amounts, and dates against job records, then creates the HighLevel Invoice Custom Object with a lookup pointing to the matched Opportunity. Records where the relationship cannot be confirmed are flagged for manual review before the migration commits.

  • HighLevel requires Custom Object creation before data can land — schema setup is a prerequisite

    HighLevel does not auto-create custom objects when data arrives via import or API. The Work Order Custom Object and the Invoice Custom Object must be created in HighLevel's Custom Objects section before migration data can be mapped into them. This includes defining field names, field types, pick-list values, and relationship fields. FlitStack AI delivers a complete schema setup plan based on the Contractor+ data audit, so HighLevel administrators can pre-create objects and fields before the migration run — avoiding import failures caused by missing destination fields.

  • Contractor+ job scheduling and work requests do not migrate — HighLevel's Calendars and Appointments are rebuilt

    Contractor+ V2 includes job scheduling, work request submission, and technician assignment features. HighLevel has a separate Calendars module and Appointment Booking feature, but these operate on different data models — Contractor+ schedules are not compatible with HighLevel calendar entries. FlitStack AI migrates the scheduling data (technician, date, job reference) as custom fields on the Opportunity record so the scheduling context is preserved, but calendar entries and appointment links must be rebuilt manually in HighLevel's Calendar module after migration.

  • HighLevel's flat-rate pricing does not include SMS and call usage — these costs continue post-migration

    HighLevel subscriptions cover the platform and unlimited contacts, but SMS messages, outbound calls, and AI feature usage are billed per-message or per-minute at usage-based rates. Contractor+ does not charge for communications separately. Teams migrating to HighLevel should audit their expected SMS and call volumes against HighLevel's pricing page to avoid bill surprises in the first month. FlitStack AI surfaces this in the pre-migration cost assessment so budget owners are aware before the switch.

Migration approach

Six steps for a successful Contractor+ to HighLevel data migration

  1. Audit Contractor+ data and plan HighLevel schema

    FlitStack AI reviews your Contractor+ record counts across clients, leads, jobs, estimates, invoices, and work orders. We identify custom fields, export limitations by plan tier, and any data that requires manual retrieval. Simultaneously, we design the HighLevel schema — Custom Objects for Work Orders and Invoices, pipeline and stage names, custom fields on Contact and Opportunity, and product catalog entries for estimate line items. You receive a complete schema setup checklist and field mapping document before any data moves.

  2. Export and clean Contractor+ data

    We guide you through exporting CSV files from Contractor+ for each object type, working around plan-level export caps on the Freedom tier by staging multi-session exports. Exported data is cleaned — duplicate records merged, missing required fields flagged, address formatting standardized. We reconstruct invoice-to-job relationships using amount and date matching. The cleaned dataset is validated against your record counts before mapping begins.

  3. Create HighLevel schema and pre-stage users

    Your HighLevel admin creates the Custom Objects (Work Order, Invoice), custom fields on Contact and Opportunity, and pipeline stages using FlitStack AI's schema checklist. We also resolve Contractor+ team members to HighLevel users by email — unmatched owners are flagged so they can be invited to HighLevel before migration. The HighLevel sub-account structure is reviewed if your team uses multiple workspaces.

  4. Run sample migration with field-level diff

    A representative sample — typically 100–500 records spanning contacts, jobs, estimates, invoices, and work orders — migrates into HighLevel first. We generate a field-level diff comparing source values against destination field values so you can verify name splits, amount mappings, stage assignments, and Custom Object relationships. You approve the sample before the full migration commits. Any mapping corrections are made against the full dataset before the final run.

  5. Full cutover with delta-pickup and audit log

    The full migration loads all Contractor+ records into HighLevel — contacts and companies first to establish foreign keys, then jobs mapped to Opportunities with estimate line items as Products, then invoices and work orders into Custom Objects. A delta-pickup window of 24–48 hours captures any records modified in Contractor+ during cutover. FlitStack AI generates an audit log of every operation, and one-click rollback is available if reconciliation finds unexpected discrepancies. After go-live, your team rebuilds automations in HighLevel's Workflow Builder using the exported workflow reference document.

Contractor+

Source

Strengths

  • Comprehensive field-service stack covering CRM, scheduling, estimating, invoicing, and payment acceptance in one app
  • Generous free tier that lets contractors run a small operation without any monthly cost
  • Responsive in-app chat and coaching support cited positively across multiple G2 reviews
  • Live material cost data and AI-powered estimating help contractors price jobs accurately
  • Multi-workspace support allows separating clients or business units within a single account

Weaknesses

  • Client Portal has no granular visibility controls, making it awkward to share selective information with clients
  • Subcontractor feature was repeatedly delayed, limiting use cases for contractors who manage sub-trades
  • API documentation is not publicly accessible, making programmatic data export more difficult
  • Rapid feature evolution means the data model may change between evaluation and active use
  • Freedom plan's 5-estimates-and-invoices-per-month ceiling fills up quickly for active contractors

Destination

Strengths

  • Consolidates CRM, marketing automation, email, SMS, scheduling, and funnels into one platform at a predictable flat monthly rate.
  • Supports unlimited contacts and unlimited users on all paid tiers, removing per-record billing anxiety as databases grow.
  • Offers white-label and sub-account capabilities that let agencies resell access and manage multiple client environments under one billing relationship.
  • Includes built-in review management, reputation monitoring, and AI agents as native features rather than third-party add-ons.
  • Exports Contacts and Companies via a scalable async bulk CSV system that handles multi-million-row datasets without blocking the UI.

Weaknesses

  • The breadth of features creates a steep learning curve; advanced automations and Workflow configuration require significant time investment that smaller teams may not recover.
  • The platform charges usage-based fees for telecommunications and AI features that are not included in the base subscription, leading to bill surprises.
  • Recurring user reports on Reddit and G2 describe bugs, errors, and slow support response times that disrupt live marketing and sales operations.
  • Sub-account architecture, while powerful for agencies, adds migration complexity when identifying which client data lives in which isolated environment.
  • The platform is designed for agencies and SMBs; larger enterprises requiring deep reporting, custom objects at scale, or complex role-based access may outgrow its capabilities.

Most Contractor+ to HighLevel migrations complete in 48–72 hours of clock time for under 10,000 records. Larger setups with 50,000+ records or multiple Custom Objects (Work Orders, Invoices) extend to 5–10 days. The longest step is the initial data audit and multi-session CSV export from Contractor+ when plan-level limits apply — teams on the Freedom tier may need several export sessions to pull their full history. FlitStack AI sequences exports in parallel with schema setup to compress the overall timeline.
